Without a Doubt!!!!!!!
I have been a photographer for well over 30 years concentrating on creating archival quality Black and White images. Recently, I have moved into the digital world and now that I am an Opa, I seeing my little angel in color. I purchased this paper after much consternation and using the recommendation of a photographer (Paul Roark), whose word I have come to trust. Paul recommends this paper on his website for printing archival B&W images and using the K3 and K7 ink sets. I received the paper and immediately opened it and set out to test it to see if it was as good as my standard paper from a manufacturer named for one of the Utah deserts. The images (even in color) are stunning. I am instantly in love with this paper and it may become my new standard. The feel of the paper is fantastic and the inks lay down so smoothly that I am can't seem to stop looking at the prints. I am especially fond of the Natural and the fact that it contains no OBAs.\r\n\r\nAs the title says, Without a Doubt, I will be back for more.

It Spoke For Itself

Sabrina Jones, May 30, 2026

I printed a significant portion of my artwork on Aurora Art Natural 300, and the response was immediate.

The print bin was consistently active, and I received several compliments on how vibrant and rich the artwork appeared on this paper. The color held beautifully, and the finish gave the work a strong, elevated presence.

What stood out most was that many collectors didn’t ask about the story behind the pieces they were drawn in purely by the visual impact.

The artwork on Aurora Art Natural 300 truly spoke for itself.


Aurora Natural 300 greeting cards are excellent

Sandra Parker, May 19, 2026

After bulk ordering my greeting cards from on online vendor, I bought a color printer for my studio and decided to print my own on demand greeting cards using Aurora Art Natural 300 greeting card stock for my customers. They look way better than the online print vendor's cards! I credit the amazing color to the high quality fine art paper that works so well with my watercolor painting captures. I highly recommend these cards!


New Trinity Velvet 315 is excellent with color

Marcia Ciro, May 01, 2026

Just tried this paper for prints in an upcoming show that have a lot of detail and color. Trinity Velvet printed them beautifully! Will definitely be using this paper for color prints. (haven't tried B&W yet).
